We dropped the x86-specific hack for WC-page allocations with a hope
that the standard dma_alloc_wc() works nowadays. Alas, it doesn't,
and we need to take back some workaround again, but in a different
form, as the previous one was broken for some platforms.
This patch re-introduces the x86-specific WC-page allocations, but it
uses rather the manual page allocations instead of
dma_alloc_coherent(). The use of dma_alloc_coherent() was also a
potential problem in the recent addition of the fallback allocation
for noncontig pages, and this patch eliminates both at once.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
